Well, it is a bank holiday weekend and it's Easter, so that means there are going to be lots of visitors and rain.
Well as it happens that wasn't the case we had beautiful blue sky for three days, and not as many visitors as I expected to the reserves.
Throughout the weekend, I visited Foulshaw Moss, Leighton Moss and Shap Wells to do some 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙮, photographing the birds that are now well on the way into the mating season, many of the birds were seen in courtship doing their dance and mating rituals to one another before mating.
My first stop was 𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙬 𝙈𝙤𝙨𝙨 where I went to the bird feeders and managed to see some redpolls before heading off to the osprey viewing point where we could just about see the two Ospreys on the nest good to see that they are back for another year.
My second stop will be 𝙇𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙤𝙣 𝙈𝙤𝙨𝙨 where I made my way around all the hides on the reserve spending a good 10 hours photographing the wildlife and doing some 𝙗𝙞𝙧𝙙 𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙮.
The final day was spent 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙥 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙨 where I went to go and visit the red squirrels and get a few photos before heading back home to create this video for you.
